We fetch this document again every day and compare it with the version we verified; if the district changes it, the dates here are read again.

Note: Dates read from a color-coded grid and key-dates list, which agree. The last day of school is not printed as text. It is 2027-05-27 because the grid shows students in session through May 27, May 28 is a Teacher Work Day, and counting the grid's student days gives the stated 178. The calendar does not say it is board-approved. Oct 1 and Mar 11 are half days for students (parent conferences); half-day dismissal is 11:10 am for elementary (K-5) and 11:30 am for high schools (6-12). Nov 23 is an E-Learning Day: students learn from home and it counts as an instructional day. Sept 16, Oct 2, Jan 4-5 and Mar 12 are PD/professional learning/teacher work days with no school for students (Jan 4 is Local/District PD, Jan 5 is Teacher Work Day). Memorial Day (May 31, 2027) is after the last day of school. The calendar does not show Juneteenth.
